I've offered my CV a few times, Spurf but I keep getting responses saying I'll be hit with a restraining order soon... Could've had Grealish, Tielemans, Watkins and Eze playing for us if they'd bloody listened!
Right up his street. Success is keeping your team in the bottom half of the PL. I wonder if he has any ambition to do any better?
The baffling thing about Bournemouth is they had a team that were capable of expansive football so could have been more daring, unlike when Mark Hughes relegated both QPR and Stoke by trying to make teams built by Warnock or Pulis play expansive football and they subsequently got flattened, yet there was never any push by the club to push themselves into the 8th-12th bracket they could have been fulltime occupants of with some of the players they had available
Yep..when that tweet is timed. He claims: "Just know a few Prem correspondents who have immediate relations to certain Premier league clubs. Work for @guardian_sport" .

I reckon Levy still has no definitive idea which person he will appoint as our new manager, and all these recent fanciful rumours have been drip fed into the media in an attempt to stave off falling season ticket renewals. By all accounts season ticket renewals have been down in their thousands, which explains being linked with all these exciting names. Vintage Levy.
its the accuracy of the initial rumours that always amazes me, and how far in advance they are posted though. Any one of us could make some bullshit up, but these people are really good at posting something out of left field with very specific information way before any journalist reports something that’s genuinely accurate. No wonder so many people get fooled, including myself!
You think fans are stupid enough to renew based on rumours of who our next manager will be? But you believe the rumours that season ticket renewals are down. Interesting.
It's too early to say if they're really down, in my opinion. I suspect that they are at the moment though, for a variety of reasons.
Well, plenty of them are stupid enough to believe Levy is doing a good job and has real ambition to pick up silverware rather than profit, and also stupid enough to believe Levy`s poverty pleading, they are being mugged off but can`t see it, so anything is possible.
The only stupidity is to believe that there is a way to deliberately achieve the outcome of massively improved performance and no trophies. Or to believe that breaking into the top four, getting to the CL final and building the best stadium in the world is somehow evidence of failure for a team that was mid table and on a downward trend when Levy took over.
As I said, £2bn to have the same results in CL finals as we do Bet you won't hear a single pundit say that
The main thing I'll blame Levy for, aside for hiring him in the first place, is how long it took to finally pull the trigger on Maureen. It is pretty obvious that Nagelsmann was Plan A - we reportedly spoke to him about replacing Poch in the first place but he was reluctant to leave midway through the season. Bayern's 11th hour interest was unforeseen but in hindsight, I do agree with the fact that Levy subsequently stuck instead of twisting on any one of a number of Plan B options, all of whom have massive question marks over them. By delaying until the end of the season, other potential options have opened up. No one saw Conte quitting Inter, no one thought Poch would even possibly be leaving PSG so soon, and until pretty recently it wasn't clear that Zidane would leave Real. Whether not those are the guys suited to Spurs right now is of course open to discussion. The fact that all three of these latter Plan Bs are objectively vastly superior managers to any of ten Hag, Potter, Martinez or Nuno is not open to discussion. By dallying, Levy has broadened the playing field. Given the lack of CL football and the likelihood that City will give Pep another £300m to spend on Kane and Grealish in order to win the CL, our chances of attracting quality in the market with the Kane money are minimal to nothing with the likes of ten Hag or Potter in the dugout. I say that without meaning any disrespect to them, but Kane's future is integral to this decision. Quality players will only answer the phone if a Conte or a Zidane is on the other end of the line. Of the two, I'd prefer the Italian simply because he is PL proven. Sorry DH but that's my vote changed slightly. If Kane is leaving, Conte. If he isn't, Potter.
